The time of the novel is the closing months of the most senselessly savage of modern conflicts. In France, millions of men engaged in brutal trench warfare are all \"ghosts in the making.\" In England, psychologist William Rivers, with severe pangs of conscience, treats the mental casualties of the war to make them whole enough to fight again. One of these, Billy Prior, risen to the officer class from the working class, both courageous and sardonic, decides to return to France with his fellow officer, poet Wilfred Owen, to fight a war he no longer believes in. Meanwhile, Rivers, enfevered by influenza returns in memory to his experience studying a South Pacific tribe whose ethos amounted to a culture of death. Across the gulf between his society and theirs, Rivers begins to form connections that cast new light on his--and our--understanding of war. Combining poetic intensity with gritty realism, blending biting humor with tragic drama, moving toward a denouement as inevitable as it is devastating, *The Ghost Road* both encapsulates history and transcends it. It is a modern masterpiece.

All Our Worldly Goods, though, is complete, and exquisitely so – a perfect novel in its own right. First published in France in 1947, after the author's death, it is a gripping story of family life and starcrossed lovers, of money and greed, set against the backdrop of France from 1911 to 1940 between two terrible wars.Pierre and Agnes marry for love against the wishes of his parents and the family patriarch, the tyrannical industrialist Julien Hardelot, provoking a family feud which cascades down the generations. This is Balzac or The Forsyte Saga on a smaller, more intimate scale, the bourgeoisie observed close-up with Nemirovsky's characteristically sly humour and clear-eyed compassion. Full of drama and heartbreak, telling observation of the devastating effects of two wars on a small town and an industrial family, this is Nemirovsky at the height of her powers. The exodus and flow of refugee humanity through the town in both wars foreshadows Suite Francaise, but differently, because this is Northern France, near the Somme, and the town itself is twice razed. Taut, evocative and beautifully paced, the novel points up with heartbreaking detail and clarity how close were those two wars, how history repeated itself, tragically, shockingly... It opens in the Edwardian era, on a fashionable Normandy beach, and ends with a changed world, under Nazi occupation.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2d77e1w5ekay28vtkd0kn9.jpg?v=76c17e40c6","L5Ee[GE2NGxu0:={t7oy*04:M|Rk",1947,253,[142],{"id":143,"slug":144,"name":145},"01kphydz6nrnh7w6neyya1dec0","irene-nemirovsky-jkb4","Irène Némirovsky",[147,148],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":19},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":151,"complexity":7,"audience":96,"mood":152,"themes":153,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"moderate",[98,99],[154],"family-saga",{"id":156,"slug":157,"title":158,"description":159,"primary_cover_url":160,"cover_blurhash":161,"first_publish_year":162,"community_rating_avg":163,"community_rating_count":164,"page_count":165,"authors":166,"genres":171,"series":200,"enrichment":201},"01kjq7eyj52mbckbdar8rqvqsv","romeo-and-juliet-nsnd","Romeo and Juliet","In the streets of Verona, two great households — the Montagues and the Capulets — are locked in an ancient, bitter feud that erupts into violence at the slightest provocation.

A single fatal brawl sends events spiraling beyond anyone's control, and a desperate plan to keep them together sets in motion one of literature's most famous tragedies.\n\nWilliam Shakespeare's tragedy of \"star-crossed lovers\" remains the definitive story of young love thwarted by hatred, chance, and haste — a play whose language, characters, and heartbreak have shaped how the Western world imagines romance for more than four centuries.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6s5j7x45h1rw02tte2mvz.jpg","LdJHgSf6xtoe~VWCV@ay?aayRjfj",1949,"4.00",10,107,[167],{"id":168,"slug":169,"name":170},"01kjq7eyjb5ehy0zsfypwhbrqj","william-shakespeare-ys9o","William Shakespeare",[172,176,180,184,185,189,192,196],{"id":173,"name":174,"slug":175,"is_fiction":19},14,"Plays","plays",{"id":177,"name":178,"slug":179,"is_fiction":18},70,"History","history",{"id":181,"name":182,"slug":183,"is_fiction":18},92,"Science","science",{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":19},{"id":186,"name":187,"slug":188,"is_fiction":19},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":90,"name":190,"slug":191,"is_fiction":19},"Literary Fiction","literary-fiction",{"id":193,"name":194,"slug":195,"is_fiction":19},4,"Romance","romance",{"id":197,"name":198,"slug":199,"is_fiction":19},8,"Historical Fiction","historical-fiction",[],{"pace":202,"complexity":7,"audience":203,"mood":204,"themes":206,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"fast","young_adult",[205,98],"romantic",[207,208],"forbidden-love","betrayal",{"id":210,"slug":211,"title":212,"description":213,"primary_cover_url":214,"cover_blurhash":215,"first_publish_year":216,"community_rating_avg":163,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":217,"authors":218,"genres":223,"series":239,"enrichment":245},"01kjqtqfswnesp2y53wkmhpp2v","no-longer-human-hez3","No Longer Human","Presented as a set of notebooks left behind by a troubled young man, No Longer Human is Osamu Dazai's harrowing, semi-autobiographical portrait of a life lived in profound alienation.

From childhood he hides his terror behind the mask of a clown, playing the fool so that no one will see how disconnected he truly is.\n\nAs he drifts into adulthood, that estrangement curdles into self-destruction: failed love, betrayal, alcohol, morphine, and a series of attempts to end his own life. Framed by a narrator who examines Yozo's photographs and confessions, the novel traces a soul that cannot find a way to belong to the human world.\n\nPublished in 1948, shortly before Dazai's own death, No Longer Human is one of the most widely read novels in modern Japanese literature — a raw, unsparing study of shame, depression, and the desperate performance of normalcy.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4awc9td0m5nc117s4v5d5.jpg","LGRS$Z-:%2wN~pkWR*e.8xofozV@",1948,192,[219],{"id":220,"slug":221,"name":222},"01kjqtqft2yyy8xx87819xbzq6","untitled-mo0n","太宰 治",[224,225,226,227,231,235],{"id":186,"name":187,"slug":188,"is_fiction":19},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":19},{"id":90,"name":190,"slug":191,"is_fiction":19},{"id":228,"name":229,"slug":230,"is_fiction":19},68,"Manga","manga",{"id":232,"name":233,"slug":234,"is_fiction":19},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",{"id":236,"name":237,"slug":238,"is_fiction":19},67,"Comics","comics",[240],{"id":241,"slug":242,"name":243,"position":244,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kq3wxh37s5nq9extd0rf8f44","manga-de-bungaku-xtvm","Manga de BUNGAKU","1.00",{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":96,"mood":246,"themes":247,"setting_period":7,"summary":248,"content_warnings":7},[98,130,99],[],"A man who has spent his life hiding behind a mask of clownish performance because he cannot understand or connect with others' emotions, and whose self-loathing drives him toward addiction.",{"id":250,"slug":251,"title":252,"description":253,"primary_cover_url":254,"cover_blurhash":255,"first_publish_year":256,"community_rating_avg":257,"community_rating_count":197,"page_count":258,"authors":259,"genres":264,"series":281,"enrichment":282},"01kjqxshyz61m2czb9z2ge03rz","the-bell-jar-fr3g","The Bell Jar","Esther Greenwood is bright, ambitious, and, by every outward measure, succeeding. Awarded a coveted month-long guest editorship at a New York fashion magazine in the summer of 1953, she moves through a world of luncheons, parties, and photo shoots that leaves her feeling numb rather than dazzled. Beneath the polished surface, she finds herself unable to reconcile the future she is expected to want — marriage, motherhood, quiet domesticity — with the writer and free self she longs to become.\n\nWhen Esther returns home to the Boston suburbs, the disconnection deepens into a full mental collapse. Sylvia Plath traces her descent with unnerving clarity, following Esther through insomnia, paralysis, and hospitalization, and into a course of psychiatric treatment that is by turns frightening and, eventually, steadying. The bell jar of the title becomes Plath's enduring image for depression: a transparent enclosure that seals a person off from the air everyone else breathes.\n\nPublished in 1963 shortly before Plath's death, and drawing closely on her own experiences, The Bell Jar is a landmark of twentieth-century literature. Its sharp, wry, unsparing voice made it a touchstone for readers grappling with mental illness and with the narrow expectations placed on women in mid-century America — a portrait that remains startlingly immediate.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjqxshyz61m2czb9z2ge03rz.jpg","LGF;[@RNEnIo}?RjIqbc4pK6M_%2",1963,"3.69",326,[260],{"id":261,"slug":262,"name":263},"01kjqxshz7fy35z2w9j67t1g67","sylvia-plath-p0us","Sylvia Plath",[265,269,270,274,275,276,280],{"id":266,"name":267,"slug":268,"is_fiction":19},13,"Poetry","poetry",{"id":232,"name":233,"slug":234,"is_fiction":19},{"id":271,"name":272,"slug":273,"is_fiction":19},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":90,"name":190,"slug":191,"is_fiction":19},{"id":186,"name":187,"slug":188,"is_fiction":19},{"id":277,"name":278,"slug":279,"is_fiction":18},96,"Psychology","psychology",{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":151,"complexity":7,"audience":96,"mood":283,"themes":284,"setting_period":7,"summary":285,"content_warnings":7},[130,98],[],"A talented, ambitious young woman in 1950s New England spirals into a mental breakdown while struggling with the expectations of her generation.

Best of all, Granny is the teller of fairy tales set in the Land of Almost-Awake and the kingdom of Miamas, stories that have shielded Elsa from a lonely world.\n\nWhen Granny dies of cancer, she leaves Elsa one last, greatest adventure: a treasure hunt of letters, each an apology to someone Granny wronged, to be delivered by Elsa herself. As Elsa carries the letters to the eccentric neighbors in her apartment building — a wurse, a monster, a woman with a fear of everything — she discovers that Granny's fantastical tales were built from the very real, often painful lives of the people all around her, and that the fairy tales were true in ways she never understood.\n\nWarm, funny, and quietly devastating, Fredrik Backman's second novel (first published in Swedish in 2013) is a story about grief, imagination, and the way stories help us survive one another. Several of its characters, including Britt-Marie, go on to appear in Backman's later books.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kte87n7qdha7nhazb8f1rfm3.jpg?v=3e9cbe9d41","LFL4$hWB~px]KSt79HRkvfxaV?t6",2013,"4.17",3,392,[353],{"id":354,"slug":355,"name":356},"01kjtgby1qrj6385je666ystkh","fredrik-backman-4bnm","Fredrik Backman",[358,362,363,364],{"id":359,"name":360,"slug":361,"is_fiction":19},12,"Fairy Tales","fairy-tales",{"id":90,"name":190,"slug":191,"is_fiction":19},{"id":232,"name":233,"slug":234,"is_fiction":19},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":151,"complexity":7,"audience":96,"mood":367,"themes":369,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[368,99],"heartwarming",[],{"id":371,"slug":372,"title":373,"description":374,"primary_cover_url":375,"cover_blurhash":376,"first_publish_year":377,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":16,"page_count":378,"authors":379,"genres":384,"series":388,"enrichment":389},"01kx2gcvhnptfd0adgxd8k1w0y","snow-flower-and-the-secret-fan-i5mm","Snow Flower and the Secret Fan","In the waning years of the Qing Dynasty, elderly Lily recounts her life to a young woman who has come to visit her.

The murder of the Romanov family in July 1918 horrified the world and its aftershocks still reverberate today. In Putin's autocratic Russia, the Revolution itself is considered a crime and its one hundredth anniversary was largely ignored. In stark contrast, the centenary of the massacre of the Imperial Family will be a huge ceremony attended by the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church. While the murder itself has received major attention, what has never been investigated in detail are the various plots behind the scenes to save the family--on the part of their royal relatives, other governments, and Russian monarchists loyal to the Tsar. Rappaport refutes the accusation that the fault lies entirely with King George V, as has been the traditional claim for the last century. The responsibility for failing the Romanovs must be equally shared. The question of asylum for the Tsar and his family was an extremely complicated issue that presented enormous political, logistical and geographical challenges at a time when Europe was still at war. Like a modern-day detective, Helen Rappaport draws on new and never-before-seen sources from archives in the United States, Russia, Spain ,and the United Kingdom, creating a powerful account of near misses and close calls with a heartbreaking conclusion.

The two bullets fired in Sarajevo not only ended their love story, but also led to war and decades of conflict.

It is 1898, and groups of starving Puerto Ricans, los hambrientos, roam the parched countryside and dusty towns begging for food. Under the yoke of Spanish oppression, the Caribbean island is forced to prepare to wage war with the United States. Up in the mountainous coffee region of Utuado, Vicente Vega and Valentina Sanchez labor to keep their small farm from the creditors. When the Spanish-American War and the great San Ciriaco Hurricane of 1899 bring devastating upheaval, the young couple is lured, along with thousands of other puertorriquenos, to the sugar plantations of Hawaii-another US territory-where they are confronted by the hollowness of America's promises of prosperity. Writing in the tradition of great Latin American storytelling, Marisel Vera's The Taste of Sugar is an unforgettable novel of love and endurance, and a timeless portrait of the reasons we leave home.\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzwwp8ykb7g6evhg5ac79jt.jpg?v=50912094c9","LFOyU.9[~p=eFwIV$*R*TJw|RQNu",2020,[623],{"id":624,"slug":625,"name":626},"01kwzwwp8r72ymxpahwfbev4v5","marisel-vera-apax","Marisel Vera",[628,629],{"id":197,"name":198,"slug":199,"is_fiction":19},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":96,"mood":632,"themes":634,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[98,633],"nostalgic",[393,207],{"id":636,"slug":637,"title":638,"description":639,"primary_cover_url":640,"cover_blurhash":641,"first_publish_year":642,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":16,"page_count":643,"authors":644,"genres":649,"series":653,"enrichment":654},"01kx6nsqmk5md3gnk5ktmefg11","once-a-grand-duchess-px5h","Once a grand duchess","Important new archive of material including letters, postcards, photographs, and other Romanov documents allows a biography of Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna of Russia (a member of the last Tsar family) to be produced.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nsqn2bh3sgem5nmjc22sh.jpg?v=7ce4f01ade","LMKCz_Rj?^%gMxofx]kC?vx[IUIB",2002,269,[645],{"id":646,"slug":647,"name":648},"01kx6nn6dvj8sj5y128pb3p81k","john-van-der-kiste-lzhy","John Van der Kiste",[650,651,652],{"id":307,"name":308,"slug":309,"is_fiction":18},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":19},{"id":177,"name":178,"slug":179,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":96,"mood":655,"themes":656,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[98,99],[],{"id":658,"slug":659,"title":660,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":661,"cover_blurhash":662,"first_publish_year":663,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":16,"page_count":664,"authors":665,"genres":670,"series":674,"enrichment":675},"01kx6nhr0107r1fpwtdnvbj0tn","the-lonely-empress-sbl5","The lonely empress","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nhr0jmk0jjnsq16w6f7t5.jpg?v=2923a01acb","LFD0Pn4V02~o0L-.?Z9ajGR+%0WC",1965,462,[666],{"id":667,"slug":668,"name":669},"01kx6nhr0ehr992b0bb2tqhv4p","joan-haslip-lqvp","Joan Haslip",[671,672,673],{"id":307,"name":308,"slug":309,"is_fiction":18},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":19},{"id":177,"name":178,"slug":179,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":96,"mood":676,"themes":677,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[98,99],[],{"id":679,"slug":680,"title":681,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":682,"cover_blurhash":683,"first_publish_year":684,"community_rating_avg":12,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":574,"authors":685,"genres":690,"series":693,"enrichment":694},"01kx6mze1dm81vy4f9savdvy8n","the-penguin-book-of-first-world-war-poetry-2rfh","The Penguin Book of First World War Poetry","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6mze1tvdenmg9bc9jndk6x.jpg?v=99f037495d","LED043t7t6xt~UkCWBodS%flWBRk",2007,[686],{"id":687,"slug":688,"name":689},"01kx6mze1qtk6qjz6mkwgypr30","george-walter-xoop","George Walter",[691,692],{"id":266,"name":267,"slug":268,"is_fiction":19},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":96,"mood":695,"themes":696,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[98,99],[],{"key":698,"params":699,"works":700},"genre",{"genre":35},[701,733,754,780,804,829],{"id":702,"slug":703,"title":704,"description":705,"primary_cover_url":706,"cover_blurhash":707,"first_publish_year":708,"community_rating_avg":163,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":709,"authors":710,"genres":715,"series":729,"enrichment":730},"01kx2ff40v2cv3980m3pt9xqts","the-haunting-of-maddy-clare-xvvp","The haunting of Maddy Clare","\"In 1920s England, a young woman of limited means and even less experience confronts the ghost of a mysterious serving maid....

Maddy hated men in life, and she will not speak to them in death. But Sarah is unprepared to go alone into a haunted barn looking for the truth. She's even less prepared for the arrival of Alistair's associate, rough, unsettling Matthew Ryder, also a veteran of the trenches, whose scars go deeper than Sarah can reach. Soon, Sarah is caught up in a desperate struggle. For Maddy's ghost is no hoax--she's real, she's angry, and she has powers that defy all reason.

He would go on to spend a further thirteen years in the close company of the Romanov family. Within that time he would be a witness to one of the most remarkable and tragic events of modern history as a close-knit family was torn apart and executed in the midst of the Revolution. But this book is more than simply an eyewitness account of the Revolution. As one of the books early reviews notes, Gilliard 'had unusual opportunities of knowing their simple domestic life, and when the tragedy that had befallen the Royal house inevitably drew its members, and the few of their attendants who were left to them, more closely together, he was able to learn more and more intimately the ties that bound them together and the difficulties that had brought them to such a doom.' The Tablet Throughout his thirteen years Gilliard built strong personal relationships with those at the Russian court and his eyewitness account of that time is a beautifully intimate portrayal of the family. From little Aleksey who despite his haemophilia remained the centre of attention to his mischievous sisters, their anxious mother and proud father, Gilliard provides vivid sketches of each of the family members. He was also witness to figures outside of the family circle, including the infamous Rasputin. Throughout the account there are extremely personal notes interspersed with humour which provide a humanising view of the Romanov family, including the moment when Gilliard forgets to censor some of the language in Les Miserables to which Tsar Nicholas II teases with him: \"You are teaching my daughters a very curious vocabulary, monsieur...\" In 1914 Russia descended into war and over the coming years as the situation on the front becomes more tense so too does life within the court. The strain upon court and nation comes to a climax in March 1917 as the Revolution begins. Even through their abdication and imprisonment Gilliard remained with the family, until finally in 1918, after the Bolshevik's coup d'etat, Gilliard is separated from them, never to see them again. Pierre Gilliard's remarkable and tragic account of the last years of the Romanov dynasty was first published in 1921. He later became a French professor at the University of Lausanne and died in 1962.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx6npt2wcsrkf3yz3znjb48h.jpg?v=ce018f8a52","LOLX6.t7tRWB~pM{fRkB0MofWBWB",2016,161,[743],{"id":744,"slug":745,"name":746},"01kx6npt34z51z9nkmmkg8zp5d","pierre-gilliard-m04a","Pierre Gilliard",[748,749],{"id":307,"name":308,"slug":309,"is_fiction":18},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":96,"mood":752,"themes":753,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[98,99],[],{"id":755,"slug":756,"title":757,"description":758,"primary_cover_url":759,"cover_blurhash":760,"first_publish_year":115,"community_rating_avg":127,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":761,"authors":762,"genres":771,"series":774,"enrichment":775},"01kx6n3cc2h01qn6mkpvq0pbpn","czars-ixc2","Czars","Discusses the reigns of the czars and czarinas who ruled Russia.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6n3ccj4a5wxk4fd65qwrdh.jpg?v=7fd512670b","L5LTNL+}00=e_Mo2iIt700WC~WOr",372,[763,767],{"id":764,"slug":765,"name":766},"01kx6n3ccc1z58v1rcgwtcxsqw","james-p-duffy-livg","James P.

Born in splendor difficult to imagine today, she endured a lifetime of relentless tragedy with courage and exceptional powers of adjustment. The Last Grand Duchess is a valuable account of the final decades of the house of Romanov as seen through the eyes of its last surviving member. Through Olga, we meet Queen Victoria, George V of England, Rasputin, Mrs. Anderson - on whose story the movie Anastasia was made - and other impostors who plagued the exiled duchess with false hope. In this official memoir, Ian Vorres captures the loneliness and violence of Olga's years in Russia, her loveless first marriage to Prince Peter of Oldenburg, her years of exile in England and Denmark, and her final settlement with her second husband and family in Canada.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nb389wtpv472vsskg8f5w.jpg?v=8f7818a0d3","LBLymSE1Q8rt4mRi%MxvY+xb*0xu",1964,[813],{"id":814,"slug":815,"name":816},"01kx6nb384563fnrc58ymtnd9m","ian-vorres-idbg","Ian Vorres",[818,822,823,824],{"id":819,"name":820,"slug":821,"is_fiction":19},34,"Historical Romance","historical-romance",{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":19},{"id":307,"name":308,"slug":309,"is_fiction":18},{"id":177,"name":178,"slug":179,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":96,"mood":827,"themes":828,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[205,98],[207,613],{"id":830,"slug":831,"title":832,"description":833,"primary_cover_url":834,"cover_blurhash":835,"first_publish_year":836,"community_rating_avg":127,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":837,"authors":838,"genres":843,"series":847,"enrichment":848},"01kx6ntp6sycrfpb2q7dgx4qyd","nicholas-ii-4ped","Nicholas II","\"This biography of Nicholas II includes a close, critical examination of his early years growing up in the imperial court, constantly in the shadow of his father, Alexander III.
